Description

Power semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof

The present invention relates to a power semiconductor device having a structure in which a metal electrode is selectively brought into contact with a collector region or an anode region, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Power semiconductor devices are an important element in the application of power electronic circuits, and power semiconductor devices are developed to meet the diverse needs of various industries (eg high insulation voltage, low conduction loss, low switching loss, high reliability, etc.). It is becoming. For example, power semiconductor devices including insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (power MOSFETs), and various types of thyristors continue to develop in response to such demands.

The bipolar operation of the power semiconductor device (i.e., the operation of flowing current due to the injection of a hole carrier generated in the P-type region P-bonded) guarantees a high current transfer capability and thus the power semiconductor. Various devices are used in the field where high voltage and high current are required.

The forward operation characteristic according to the bipolar operation of the power semiconductor device is determined by how easily the hole carrier injection from the P-type region to the N-type region occurs. Therefore, increasing the injection rate of the hole carrier is an important factor for improving the forward characteristics. That is, when the IGBT has a higher hole carrier injection ratio in the collector P-type region and in the case of a diode, the P-type region of the anode, superior device characteristics can be obtained.

Recently, due to the limitation of development technology, the ion implantation rate of the P-type collector region has become an important issue.

Early IGBTs were fabricated with a PT (Punch-through) type structure using wafers with N-type epitaxial growth on a P-type substrate, but recently, NPT (Non-punch) for cost reduction and device performance improvement. It is manufactured in the structure of -through) or FS (Field stop) type.

For reference, unlike the initial PT type IGBT, the NPT type IGBT and the FS type IGBT process the wafer thinly, and then implant P-type ions into the back of the substrate and heat-treat them to form a P-type collector region. Form an area.

 The formation of the P-type collector region by ion implantation contributed to the improvement of device characteristics by controlling the injection amount of the hole carriers. In general, the formation of the P-type collector region occurs after the front side process and the wafer grinding process.

However, since the metal for emitter electrode already exists in the front surface during the heat treatment process for activating the implanted ions, the heat treatment temperature should be proceeded at about 400 ~ 450 ° C., which is lower than the melting point of the metal existing on the front surface. As a result, it is not possible to obtain a sufficient temperature to activate the implanted ions, resulting in only a very small amount (less than about 1%) of impurities being activated.

Therefore, there is a limit to increasing the concentration of the P-type collector region in a limited amount of implantable ions, thereby limiting the collector's ion implantation ability, and thus the power used in applications requiring a lower operating voltage. There is a difficulty in manufacturing a semiconductor device.

1 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) according to the prior art.

Referring to FIG. 1, the P type well 35 is formed on the N type drift region 30 by a P type ion implantation and diffusion process. In the P type well 35, an emitter region 40 having an N conductivity type is formed to be exposed to the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. The emitter region 40 may be formed by selectively implanting and diffusing conductive N-type ions opposite to the P-type well 35 in a region of the upper surface of the P-type well 35. Here, the emitter region 40 may be formed to have a higher impurity concentration than the N-type drift region 30.

The gate electrode 50 is disposed so as to be electrically insulated from and opposed to the N-type drift region 30, the P-type well 35, and the emitter region 40 positioned below. The gate insulating layer 55 is formed under the gate electrode 50 so that the gate electrode 50 is electrically insulated from the emitter region 40 and the like. In addition, an interlayer insulating film is formed to cover the top and side surfaces of the gate electrode 50 so that the gate electrode 50 is electrically insulated from the emitter metal electrode 70.

An emitter metal electrode 70 is then formed over the interlayer insulating film, and the emitter metal electrode 70 is electrically connected to the emitter region 40 and the P-type well 35 at the bottom.

In addition, an N-conductive field stop layer 20 and a P-type collector region 10 are formed below the N-type drift region 30, respectively. The field stop layer 20 suppresses the depletion layer from extending into the P-type collector region 10. The collector metal electrode 80 is formed under the P-type collector region 10.

In general, NPT (Non-punch-through) type or FS (Field stop) type IGBT, after completing the upper MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) structure, thin wafer is processed and P-type collector region through ion implantation and heat treatment process Next, metal is deposited on the rear surface to form an electrode.

 In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the collector region on the rear surface is formed through an ion implantation process and a metal deposition process without a special pattern.

Since the process of forming the P-type collector region on the back side has to be performed in a situation where a metal electrode (for example, an emitter metal electrode) is present on the front side in the process sequence, the application temperature of the heat treatment process is inevitably limited. That is, a heat treatment process for activating P-type implanted ions at a temperature of about 400 to 450 ° C., which is a temperature at which a metal electrode (for example, an aluminum electrode) existing on the front surface does not melt, is performed.

However, at such a temperature, the implanted P-type ions cannot be sufficiently activated to form a high concentration P-type collector region, and thus there is a limit in that a power semiconductor device having a low operating voltage cannot be manufactured.

2 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3A to 3C are diagrams illustrating an insulated gate bipolar transistor according to the prior art and an insulator according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4A and 4B are comparisons of the on-state voltage Vcesat of the IGBT according to the contact ratio between the collector metal electrode and the collector region. It is a graph.

Since the structure of the IGBT shown in FIG. 2 is similar to that of the IGBT described above with reference to FIG. 1, the description of the same matters is omitted.

Referring to FIG. 2, an N conductivity type field stop layer 20 and a P type collector region 10 are formed below the N type drift region 30, respectively. A collector metal electrode 80 is formed under the P-type collector region 10 by depositing a metal electrode to expose a portion of the P-type collector region 10. That is, the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 are selectively contacted (that is, the collector metal electrode 80 contacts only a part of the P-type collector region 10), which is described above with reference to FIG. 1. It is different from the contact form of the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 described with reference.

Such a structure may be formed by, for example, a lift-off process or a partial etching process after depositing a metal electrode as a whole.

As such, when the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 are selectively contacted, in the IGBT of the general structure described with reference to FIG. 1, current flows uniformly through the electrode bonded to the rear surface. In the IGBT according to the present embodiment, the current bottleneck occurs because the current flows only through a part of the region where the electrode is formed.

Therefore, as shown in (b) of FIG. 3A, the density of the hole carriers increases around the region in which the electrode is present, and the relatively high hole carrier concentration is maintained in the P-type collector region 10 to increase during diffusion of the hole carriers. This difference in concentration allows for more efficient current flow. This effect can solve the problem of an increase in the forward operating voltage due to the low concentration of the P-type collector region 10, it is possible to implement a lower operating voltage.

3A to 3C are graphs comparing the hole carrier distribution between the insulated gate bipolar transistor according to the prior art and the insulated gate bipolar transistor according to the embodiment of the present invention. For reference, (a) of FIG. 3a shows a hole carrier distribution in the P-type collector region 10 of the IGBT according to the prior art shown in FIG. 1, and (b) is of the present embodiment shown in FIG. The hole carrier distribution in the P-type collector region 10 of IGBT 1 is shown. In addition, simulation results of the hole carrier distribution of the cross section taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 3A to confirm the hole carrier density difference in each situation are shown in FIG. 3B, and it is cut along line BB ′ of FIG. 3A. Simulation results for the hole carrier distribution of the cross section are shown in FIG. 3C. 3B and 3C, reference numeral 210 denotes a hole carrier distribution of the IGBT according to the prior art, and reference numeral 220 denotes a hole carrier distribution of the IGBT according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3B, it can be seen that the density of the high hole carrier is formed at the portion while the current is concentrated and flows from the portion where the electrode is not present to the edge portion of the electrode.

For this reason, referring to FIG. 3C where the distribution of hole carriers in the vertical direction in the N-type drift region 30 is shown, the concentration of the hole carriers in the P-type collector region 10 is higher than that of the IGBT according to the prior art. You can see that it is quite high.

This means that the smaller the contact area between the collector metal electrode 80 and the P-type collector region 10, the higher the density of the hole carriers is in some regions of the P-type collector region 10. That is, it means that it can be easily injected into the N-type drift region 30, by using it can lower the operating voltage of the power semiconductor device.

4A and 4B show a comparison graph of the on-state voltage Vcesat of the IGBT according to the contact ratio between the collector metal electrode 80 and the collector region 10.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the contact ratio is a ratio between the length (or area) of the P-type collector region 10 and the length (or area) of the collector metal electrode 80 selectively contacting the P-type collector region 10. It can be calculated as As shown in FIG. 4B, the smaller the contact ratio is, the more effectively the magnitude of the operating voltage is confirmed. The smaller the size of the metal electrode junction is, the higher the injection rate of the hole carrier is, which improves its characteristics. However, the contact ratio should be selected in consideration of the limitations of the patterning technique and the absolute amount of current flow in the semiconductor chip, and considering the simulation results shown in FIG. have.

As described above, the improvement of the forward characteristic by selectively contacting the collector metal electrode 80 and the collector region 10 varies depending on the concentration and depth of the P-type collector region 10, but is the same in all cases. Applicants have already confirmed through the simulation and the like that the properties appear in the direction of improvement. This can simply solve the shortcomings of the low operating voltage due to the low hole injection effect that has been pointed out as a problem in the conventional IGBT.

5 to 8B are diagrams each showing an embodiment of a power semiconductor device according to other embodiments of the present invention.

FIG. 5 illustrates an IGBT in which the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 are selectively contacted by the selectively etched insulating layer 410.

That is, before forming the collector metal electrode 80, the insulating film 410 is deposited under the P-type collector region 10, and the portion where the electrode is to be formed is selectively etched, and then the collector metal electrode 80 is formed on the entire back surface. By deposition, an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) in which the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 are selectively contacted can be manufactured.

6 shows an IGBT in which the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 are selectively contacted by forming a damaged layer 510 in a portion of the P-type collector region 10. .

That is, the ohmic portion of the P-type collector region 10 may be damaged by ion implanting particles that do not act as carriers to create a current flow in a region where an electrode is not formed, or by damaging the region by plasma treatment. contact) to form a damaged area layer 510 that is not bonded.

Subsequently, when the collector metal electrode 80 is formed below the P-type collector region 10, current flows only to a region other than the damage region layer 510, which is similar to the operation form of the IGBT described with reference to FIG. 2. Will be the same.

As such, the structure for selectively contacting the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 may be commonly applied to the horizontal IGBT device as well as the vertical IGBT device described above.

That is, the collector metal electrode 80 of the horizontal IGBT according to the prior art shown in FIG. 7A is fragmented as shown in FIG. 7B so that the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 are selectively contacted. In this case, the forward characteristic may be improved by increasing the amount (density) of the hole carriers in the area of the same P-type collector region 10.

As a method of forming an IGBT in which the P-type collector region 10 and the collector metal electrode 80 are selectively contacted, only a structure corresponding to FIG. 2 is illustrated in FIG. 7B. Naturally, the structure described with reference to 6 can be applied without limitation to the horizontal IGBT.

Likewise, the technical idea of the present invention can be equally applied to a manufacturing process of a diode device.

8A is a diagram illustrating a structure of a diode device according to the prior art, and FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating a structure of a diode device to which the technical spirit of the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 8A, in the diode device according to the related art, an anode metal electrode is formed on the P-type well region in an active region, so that the P-type well region and the anode metal electrode are in contact area. In total contact with.

However, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the diode device to which the technical idea of the present invention is applied, an insulating film is formed on the P-type well region, and a portion of the P-type well is selectively exposed by a partial etching process. An anode metal electrode is deposited on top so that the P-type well and the anode metal electrode are only partially in contact with the region where the insulating film is removed. In this way, the same effects as described above can be obtained in the diode device as well.

Although only the structure corresponding to FIG. 5 is illustrated in FIG. 8B as a method of forming a diode device in which the P-type region and the anode metal electrode are selectively contacted, the structure described above with reference to FIGS. 2 and 6 will be omitted. Of course, it can be applied without limitation to the manufacturing process of the diode device.

In addition, although not shown, it is a matter of course that the technical concept of the present invention may be equally applied to the emitter region of the vertical and / or horizontal bipolar transistors.

9A to 9C are flowcharts illustrating a method of manufacturing a power semiconductor device according to embodiments of the present invention.

Since the structure of the power semiconductor device according to each embodiment has been described in detail above, the following briefly describes only a method of manufacturing an anode region of the power semiconductor device.

Referring to FIG. 9A, a P-type ion region is formed in step 910 to function as an anode of a power semiconductor device.

Subsequently, the metal electrode is deposited only in a region designated as the conductive region in the anode region to selectively contact the P-type ion region and the metal electrode in step 920.

Referring to FIG. 9B, which shows another embodiment, a P-type ion region is formed in step 930 to function as an anode of a power semiconductor device.

In operation 935, an insulating layer 410 is formed on the surface of the P-type ion region. In operation 940, selective etching for partitioning the conductive region and the non-conductive region is performed on the formed insulating layer 410.

Subsequently, in step 940, a metal electrode is deposited on the exposed surfaces of the P-type ion region and the insulating layer 410 such that the insulating layer 410 is removed to directly contact the P-type ion region only in the region partitioned into the conductive region.

Referring to FIG. 9C, which shows another embodiment, a P-type ion region is formed in step 960 to function as an anode of a power semiconductor device.

In step 965, a damaged region layer 510 is formed in which some ohmic contacts are not formed. The damage region layer 510 may be formed by ion implanting particles that do not act as carriers to create a current flow in a region where an electrode is not formed in the P-type ion region, or by damaging the region through plasma treatment.

In step 970 a metal electrode is deposited on the exposed surfaces of the P-type ion region and damage region layer 510. As a result, the conductive region may be formed only in a region other than the damaged region layer 510 in contact with the P-type ion region and the metal electrode.

Although the above has been described with reference to embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may variously modify the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. And can be changed.
